How do I find out when my factory warranty is up, The 1 owner 08 I bought only has 2519 miles on it, but I did'nt get any info on it, such as purchase date.
Thanks
David

Go to any GM dealer and ask them to run a report on the car. They can tell you all work that was done on it and when the warranty is up.

Running a VIS report as it's called, is probably a good move anyway - - it can tell you about any open warranty items as well as work already performed - - and might save you some headache in the long run.

Best of all - -cost is zero! Congrats on your new Vette!

They should let you know when the car was first sold, hence when the warranty started.

There is an easier way. Open the drivers door and check the build date on the sticker. Assuming the car did not sit on a dealers lot for 6 months the warranty will be at least 3 years past this date.

That date is month and year only. Mine says 03/05, my in service date was 04/06/05.
